Memories are sometimes best forgotten, but how do our brains weaken unwanted details of the past? We propose a theoretical framework in which memory reactivation during sleep supports adaptive forgetting. This mnemonic rebalancing underpins the affective benefits of sleep by ensuring that our memories remain aligned with our emotional goals.

有时最好忘记记忆，但我们的大脑如何削弱过去不想要的细节呢？我们提出了一个理论框架，其中睡眠期间的记忆重新激活支持适应性遗忘。这种记忆的重新平衡通过确保我们的记忆与我们的情感目标保持一致来巩固睡眠的情感益处。
